Sandy was awful down here also. We went without power for 9 days. A regular gross hotel room on the strip usually went for 50-100$ per night. During Sandy they wanted 450$ per night ( they ran off of back up generators so they had power)

I've never experienced a blizzard, since my parents moved from NYC to the SF Bay Area when I was two years old many eons ago. But my mother told me she went into a difficult labor with me during a January blizzard and it took the doctor hours to get to the hospital to do a Caesarian. Poor mom.

The wind is picking up here at the shore and the ocean is wildly clapping against the sea wall. The tide is high so water is ever so slowly creeping above sea level.
It's not supposed to get bad here until the middle of the night but I won't get much sleep anyway. My phone will chime every ten mins with every alert possible ( because of my job, I must have it set up that way )

I'm currently in Wilkes-Barre visiting a relative and in a blizzard warning until Tues at 8:30 pm. Wilkes-Barre is supposed to get 16-20 inches in 24 hours with wind gusts of 45 mph. It has just started snowing. The "heavy snow" starts at 8 am tomorrow.

Now weather.com forecast for Lackawanna County says: SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 14 TO 20 INCHES IN VALLEY LOCATIONS AND UP AROUND 2 FEET AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

I noticed that as well. We're in the valley outside of Hazleton, so we are not as high up as they are, but I don't know if Wilkes Barre is considered higher elevation. At the same time, we sure do get the wind more down here in the valley (my dog was barking at the wind howling earlier...lol).
